The problem is Lamar getting most of the money being the huge money dump it's been since the purchase. If they create a sports complex out of it and make it more usable, I'd be ok with that. As it is though, the property is being underutilized.

I know the main guy pushing for the sportaplez and he's a 40 yr coach been in ascension since Katrina and organizes events all over the country.

I think he could do it right.

My biggest issue with it is the infrastructure getting in and out. They need to either build a back road or improve the only road that leads to and from the area. I think adding some playing fields and such is a good investment. What ever happened to the indoor swimming pool at the YMCA out there?
